It was mid December and I desperately needed a break from the city. Fully aware of the low lake levels and even lower lake temps this was a last minute getaway that I was extremely reluctant to follow thru with. As such, my expectations were certainly tempered when I decided to «throw caution to the wind» as it were and book my dates. Thankfully, it wasn’t long before these expectations were surpassed. From the moment we drove through the large green iron entry gate my initial apprehensions were continually offset by the shear majesty, extreme serenity and welcoming«feels like home» quality of the private lakeside lodgings. As far as getaways go, LandsEnd goes along way indeed.

Great Lake House!!!
We booked our trip very last minute after the Labor Day Rush and were happy Landsend was available. What a great experience. We stayed in the Boat House which is very clear its been newly renovated and what a fantastic place. There was plenty of room for us, party of 3 but it could of accommodated for more. Very cozy and relaxing. We brought our own boat and the boat docks are conveniently located near the houses but with the lake being so low it is a bit of a schlep to get to them. But, Mark was beyond helpful and was always available when we called for a ride down to the docks. We had a great time wake-boarding, water skiing and tubing. Being that it was after Labor Day the lake was empty and it was absolutely glorious, so much so that we ended up extending our stay by a night. We look forward to returning and bringing friends to book the other houses.

Lake Nacimiento Gem!
What a great experience we had at this house, Sunset Cover #3! We had a ton of questions about the property and lake conditions before booking, all were answered but most importantly all were answered correctly! There were two family’s, 8 people total. There was plenty of room for us. Nate and Mark(caretakers) were there to answer any questions we had or help with anything we needed. We brought our own boat, the lake was low as we expected but there was still plenty of water to have fun tubing, wakeboarding and wake surfing. The only regret we had was we didn’t stay longer! We look forward to returning to this property in the future!!!

I stayed in the sunrise cove cabin and it was kick ass! The place was nice, the views were beautiful, and the private dock was the best part!

Clean place, beautiful view. A little bit of a walk down to the dock, but it was pretty cool. Community vessels were down at the dock, with shade. Big bbq pit available as well as gas grill. It wasn’t cheap, but it was a really great experience. When we come back, we are coming back here.

This place is exactly as described and is clean, secluded and has everything you need. The cabin/houses have amazing views and are well taken care of. The private docks are assigned and you only share with one other unit so no problems when bringing your boat in/out. Your slot is always open. The caretakers checked in to make sure everything was ok and were extremely nice. Great experience and we’re already starting to make plans for next year!

My group wanted to celebrate my cousin’s birthday before he left to go back to the Philippines. For what seemed like forever, we looked for homes near Monterey bay because he was going to go sky diving too. On the week of his birthday, the adventure gods were on our favor and led me to find this property. It’s in the middle of nowhere and the sky dive spot was 2 hours away. After looking at the pictures, and especially after speaking with Steve(one of the owners), we thought, «what the heck?» The drive was worth it. It was, and I quote my cousin, «the best weekend of my life.» I’ve rented a lot of homes for vacation, and I have to say, this has been the easiest booking I’ve done. Communication was excellent(within minutes, at any time of day), and the lake-oh my gosh. The sunset and sunrise views were spectacular-one of the best I’ve seen. Like I said, it’s in the middle of nowhere, and I have never heard of it(just saw it on the VRBO map), more people need to know about this lake. The property itself is very serene and well-kept. Our stay was perfect-what more can I say? I would DEFINITELY go back in a heartbeat.

My husband and I took our twin 11 year old boys to the Lakefront at LandsEnd for the 4th of July weekend and had the BESTTIME! We could not have had a better time… no one wanted to leave after 3 nights. We could have stayed weeks! We waterskiied, had a blast wake boarding and the boys loved tubing. We had our own private dock and we paddleboarded and kayaked to the island. The water was warm and we spent the entire day on the 4th on the lake and in a cove with other families celebrating. They have thought of everything in the house. from the wifi to fun current movies for the family to the comfortable new beds and fully stocked kitchen. The place is immaculate and freshly painted with new carpet. I felt like we were the first people to ever use it! The deck was incredible and we ate most meals outside, because it was just so beautiful. The hammock is perfect for napping and hanging out too. We even bbqed and had smores on the firepit in the evening. Even the drive here was fun. We stopped in San Luis Obispo for dinner and there was a street market we found out they have on Thursdays. We are already trying to figure out when we can come back!

Stayed here over the weekend(4 great days), so peaceful and just beautiful !! The kids ages 13 and 14, both girls, got to be kids! Paddle board, jumping in the lake, boating, on the raft, and just experiencing nature. They actually put their phones down! It was just wonderful we usually go to Havasu but this was so more calm and a lot of families ! We will be back to lands end, beds were comfy, had s’mores and even Paso wine ! I can’t wait to go again, next time longer take the bikes and explore the town more !

We had the privilege to stay at Lakefront at LandsEnd during spring break. We spent one peaceful night there among the trees with a wonderful view of the lake. Our hosts, Steve and Lori, showed us around and made sure we were comfortable. All the comforts of home without the noise! We were only able to stay one night but it left us wanting more. I am sure we will be back and possibly bring our adult children with their families. It is truly a hidden gem and just might be the new family vacation spot!

Lakefront at LandsEnd is truly an amazing getaway for me. I first stayed here back in November of 2014 while I was working in the area. Since I was here for work reasons I didn’t have a chance to take advantage of all the amenities this property has to offer. In January of 2015 I decided to come back on a mini vacation with family and of course my camera. Let me tell you, Lands End really does have everything you could ask for and some of the best scenery on the lake. As a guy living in the city I like to get away and have some seclusion without giving up certain amenities. Living out of a cooler or sleeping in a tent is fun for a night but when you have a family it’s much easier to have a fridge, bathroom, fireplace and bed. I stayed in Waters Edge abd this unit has 2 bedrooms, wrap around deck, Pit-style BBQ and a nice bigscreen tv. I was able to enjoy fishing and some great hikes while at the property. The first time in my life I’ve ever seen a deer in person was when I decided to go on hike on the property. Thank God I had my camera in hand. Already looking forward to my next trip and I can’t wait to see what this lake is like in the Summer. With the private docks on property, I am looking forward to bringin my boat on my next trip.

This place is great! We stayed in the Lucia View House. It’s rustic, woodsy, clean and comfortable. I love the large windows in the living room and kitchen, providing an amazing view of the lake. It has an older kitchen but it’s spacious and with all the basics needed for cooking. It has a cabin feel with the luxury of having TV and wifi, on the few occasions that we chose to do that. We took advantage of the kayaks and paddle boards that are available on the property and totally enjoyed being surrounded by nature. Great find! We will definitely be back.

Heard about this new place to stay at Lake Nacimiento, went to site of … these are seven little cabins on some acreage right on the lake front with private boat docks, near historic Bee Rock. So quaint, clean, and right smack on the middle section of the dragon! Life is good at Lakefront at LandsEnd!
